Your articles
Hi. Don't worry about the speedy-deletion warnings above; I don't think they were appropriate to your articles, though for other reasons your articles weren't suitable for Wikipedia.

I have turned Hat-Trick into a redirect to the existing article Hat-trick which already covers your meaning as well as others. Before you plan a new article, it is always worth checking to see whether Wikipedia already has one on the subject.

Mile Stone is different; I have turned that, too, into a redirect to the existing Milestone which covers the usual meaning, and also points to the Milestone (disambiguation) page for other meanings. None of these covers your meaning, so there would be scope for an article titled something like "Milestone (football term)", but the problem there is that I cannot find any confirmation that the term is used in this way - e.g. a Google search turns up nothing relevant; and a Wikipedia article must be verifiable from reliable sources. Also, articles generally need to be more than just the definition of a term - one of the longish list of things that Wikipedia is not is a dictionary.

Don't be discouraged: look at the links in the Welcome paragraph above, and at the guide to writing Your First Article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:22, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
